DAIKANYAMA

If you’re a fan of Ja­panese food but are not too much of a purist, make your way to Daikanyama for a taste of ex­per­i­men­tal Ja­panese cui­sine and drinks. Tak­ing food evo­lu­tion in stride, they pride them­selves in their spe­cial menus and are hell­bent on mix­ing and match­ing Ja­panese food with flavours and food styles from all around the world. Their aim is to de­liver a se­lec­tion of food that is en­tirely their own. Their menu of in­trigu­ing delecta­bles also comes with unique cock­tails and an ex­ten­sive se­lec­tion of liquor. THE HOUSE SPE­CIALTY: They’ve got some pretty fab­u­lous must-tries but the ab­so­lute one is the Sake Bomb Maki, a soft shell crab and av­o­cado maki dish draped with thinly sliced salmon and topped with may­on­naise and spicy sauce. There’s also the salmon truf­fle oil tataki, the taki wasabi shot and the soi sashimi, all equally as good and as im­por­tant to have on the ta­ble if you’re look­ing for de­li­cious perfection.
